 * Delete WP:SOLDIER has massive problems for sure, as the bar is often set as being far over WP:GNG. There is a backstory here as it relates to the Shangani Patrol, and because of this there might be additional sourcing.  Sometimes there is quite extensive research published into First World War casualties, so it isn't entirely beyond a stretch of the imagination that someone has done similar research for this chap and his chums, but with the present sourcing it is difficult to justify keeping this.
